The Mail has a long diatribe on the " unconstitu tional" (;.) prorogation of Parliament—the prorogation, declares this censor, ought to have been for forty days only, and not sixty. The effect of this most " unconstitutional" prorogation—an effect overlooked by all the London Journalists—will be to place in abeyance the privileges of Members of Parliament for twenty days ! The organ of the Irish Orangemen exults in its " discovery," and mightily chuckles in the notion that " the most valuable privilege which the Irish Tail Members and their Head enjoy is cut off :" and that " an Irish grievance of the greenest water is created, and a gap made in the Ministe rial phalanx which will wofully tell against the Cabinet when muster-day' arrives !" SINGULAR PHENOMENON.—PIeased, perhaps, by the notoble discovery just alluded to, the Mail becomes face tious, and gives off the following piece of pleasantry : " Letters from the southern counties state that the milk in all the dairies on the coast soured in an unaccountable manner last week. It would appear as if the acetous influ ence had proceeded from the south-west, and passed along the entire line of coast from Bolushead to Bagenbren. The contents of the milk pans, we are assured, cut and coagu lated as if from an infusion of rennet. Messrs. Beamish and Crawford have suffered, it is said, severely, havinc , had a whole brewing of beer converted into vinegar. Speculation is, of course, busy with suggestions, some predicting the re-appearance of the cholera, others regarding it as a blast or current of electro-galvanie fluid, which is, we believe, the opinion of the Rev. Professor Magauley ; but the much more prevalent impression seems to be that the acetous in fluence emanated from her Majesty's ship the Inconstant, which, it now appears, was in the offing during the occur rence of the phenomenon." AGITATION.—The Pilot says, " He must be a shallow observer who would see in the multiplying dinners to O'Connell merely the affairs of festivity. They are solemn indications of opinion—combining, declaring itself in one irresistible mass. Ross entertains the Liberator to-morrow, Wexford on Thursday, Carlow on the 10th. So works the public cause—everywhere the spirit spreads itself." THE WEATHER.—AII accounts from Ireland concur in representing the recent winds and rains as having exceeded everything within memory in that country, in their fatal and destructive effects on life and property. A p.oclamation to divide the county of Tipperary into two ridings, will be issued in a few days.—Liinerick Chronicle. A young lady is said to have strangled herself this week, on being caught taking a gold watch in a respectable esta blishment in Dublin where she had been shopping. A lawless mob this week prostrated an inclosure re cently built by Thomas Russell, Esq., of this city, at Askeaton, and also threatened the life of that gentleman, whose enterprise, skill, and capital, have afforded such profitable employment to that town and neighbourhood.— Limerick Chronicle. PRECURSOR SOCIETY.—We have reports of meetings in various parts of the country, for the formation of Precur sor Associations. At a meeting held last Sunday at Wa terford, subsequently to the resolutions forming the Society, &e., having been passed, we see, by the Waterford Chronicle, that it was proposed by Edmond T. Power, Esq., seconded by Mr. Patrick M'Guire, of Woodstown, " That in the event of a vacancy occurring in the repre sentation of this county, by the resignation of John Power, Esq., M.P., we are determined, and hereby express our intentions, to vote for no candidate who we are not per suaded is fully determined to exert himself, both in the House and out of the House, for the total and unqualified extinction of the unholy and blood-stained impost of tithes, in name and substance—for an Extension of the Elective Franchise, for Triennial Parliaments, Vote by Ballot, and a full measure of Municipal Reform for Ireland." The Pilot reports the proceedings of a meeting of the Precursor Society, of St. Mary's parish, held on Friday, in Dublin, at which Mr. O'Connell delivered an address em bracing all those topics on which he has lately been enlarg ing, during his tour of agitation. It was stated by Mr. Arkins, that 150 Precursors had been enrolled on that one evening only. Mr. O'Connell is now in Wexford, where the people are feting their illustrious guest ; to day he was to be entertained in the county town. The Dublin Monitor—anew paper, apparently disposed to discover faults in Whigs as well as Tories—speaking of his Excellency the Marquis of Normanby, observes that he " did much good we are free to confess, but it is equally true, that he fell upon pleasant days, when the people were tired of the trade of patriots, and wished to exchange it for a placeman's calling, and were therefore determined not to be dissatisfied with trivial errors committed by a dashing and good-humoured Viceroy. One thing is clear, that no very comprehensive measures for the amelioration of the condition of the Irish people have been recently passed, if we except the Poor-law Bill. But we will be told that we have at least obtained good appointments. Is this really the case ?" MONEY AND CITY NEWS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. TIMES.—The Funds were steady all day, with scarcely a variation from the closing prices of yesterday. The books were shut to-day, preparatory to the payment of dividends in Consols, which left off at 93 to for Money, and 934 to 7- for the opening. The Three per Cents. Reduced, for Money, were 1921 to Bank Stock 202 to 3 ; Ex chequer Bills, 645. to 665. ; India Bonds, 61s. premium. A good deal of business was transacted in Dutch Stocks, which fluctuated during the day more than usual. Some favourable reports respecting an approximation towards a settlement of the Belgian question, backed by various rather large purchases, caused an improvement in them eventually of T 3- to per cent., the Two and a Half per Cents. leaving off at 544 to ; the Five per Cents. at 1001 to 101. HERALD. —Money for commercial purposes has un doubtedly been much in demand during the past few days ; but it is generally understood that the wants of the com mercial community have been freely supplied in proportion to the applications made to them by the Bank of England under the terms of their late notice, which, of course, has had the effect of keeping the Money-market more steady in regard to its value. There has been very little business in the British funds to-day, and in most instances the different stocks have im proved. The Foreign-market still continues in a very inactive state. The Share-market continues heavy. Great Western Railway have receded to 11 a 3. prem. Brighton are 33- dis. Birmingham are 80 aBl prem., and the ditto Quarter Shares 233- prem. In Banking Shares the quotations are _Australian New Bank Shares, at 243- prem. London and Westminster, 31 prem. London Joint-stock Bank, 34 prem., and National Bank of Ireland, 1 a a dis. POST.—Some rather considerable purchases of Dutch Stock were made to-day, and on which a further advance of to per cent. was realised. The transactions were not otherwise characterised by any novel feature. The Portuguese Funds declined somewhat upon the publication of the details brought by the Tagus steamer from Lisbon, the anxious attention paid by the Government there to the demands of the home creditors at the expense of the fo reign being of course calculated to increase the disgust of the bondholders here. It seems that, in order to continue this partial and unjustifiable system of payment of the na tional obligations, a grossly usurious arrangement had been concluded with the Confianca Banking Company, by virtue of which they (the Government) will obtain 830 contos of refs, or about 200,000/. sterling, for the purpose, but we hear of no effort being made to discharge any portion of the interest which has accumulated on the debt contracted with this country. The English Funds have advanced a fraction since yes terday. There was, however, nothing doing in them worthy of notice. The commissioners made a further purchase in the Three per Cent. Reduced Annuities for Account of the Savings' Banks. The amount taken was, we understand, 6,0001. at the price of 92k. The im provement we have noticed in the quotations is attributed to the liberal advances made by the Bank of England to the banking and commercial classes in pursuance of the intimation contained in the notice issued by the Directors on Thursday last. CHRONICLE. —The proceedings at the Stock Ex change generally to-day were without particular feature, especially as regards the English Market. There was no particular demand for money, notwithstanding this was the last arly of making transfer of stock, and it is thought that there wit/ new be no change or particular pressure this Christmas. The Winscales artived on Friday night from Quebec. Three or four days before entering port, the ship was struck, during a hurricane from the south-west, by a tremendous sea.

THEI SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1838. apprehension on this subject will be removed, when I de clare to you my conviction that no such result can or will flow from any measure of Church appropriation which has been hitherto made, and still less from the course of po licy w hick it is my intention to recommend in this matter. Apparent, as it must be to every one, that our security will chiefly depend on the preservation of perfect harmony and concord among ourselves, I cannot refrain on an oc casion like the present from offering a few observations on this all-important subject. In every community differences resulting from opposition of interests, diversity of tastes, and conscientious scruples in matters of religion, will ne cessarily exist ; and these when restrained within those bounds which the principles of Christianity enjoin, may exist in times of peace and tranquillity, without much prejudice to the general interests of society. It is even possible that they may, in some instances, tend indirectly to promote them. But when the plunder of our property, and the total overthrow of our venerable Constitution, have be come the " latest dream at night and the earliest vision of the morning," with a few desperate traitors, leagued with a numerous banditti on our frontier, it is the part of prudence, no less than of duty, to lay aside all difference on minor matters, and to unite hand and heart in the de fence of every thing that is dear to us. I do therefore most earnestly and most affectionately advise and recom mend you to bury as much as possible. those recollections of past events, which may tend to keep alive angry feelings towards those of your fellow-subjects who, having once strayed from the path of duty, may now be sincerely desi rous of returning to it—to avoid all irritating discussions— and to drown all differences in a common regard for the Public safety. Let the only contest before us henceforth be, who shall show himself the best man and the most loyal subject. Inhabitants of Upper Canada!—lt is not to arouse your patriotism and loyalty—since they, I know, require no stimulant—but rather to allay any undue apprehensions, or excessive excitement which rumour may have produced, that I now address you ; and in requiring you to be pre pared to repel, with steady heart and ready hand, the first aggression on the part of the lawless brigands who threaten your security, I can confidently assure you that there are ample means at my disposal for your protection. Given under my hand and seal at arms, at Toronto, this fifth day of November, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and thirty-eight, and of her Majesty's reign the second.

(Correspondence of the Albany Evening Journal.) • Ogdensburgh, Nov. 12,1838, Nine o'Clock, P.M. Friend Weed—l snatch a few moments' time to give you notice of the proceedings in this place to-day. This morning our citizens were aroused by the news that two schooners, loaded with Canadian Patriots, were lying in the river opposite this place, with the intention of attacking Prescott, and also that another band of about 200 had taken possession of the steamer United States. About nine o'clock the steamer left the wharf for the purpose of towing off the two schooners which had both run aground. One, however, got off without assistance, and run on to the Canada side, and landed about 200 men about a mile below the fort. The British steam-boat Experiment put out after the States, aad fired several shots at her, only one of which struck the boat, and killed a very worthy young man of this place. The British steamer ranged alongside the other schooner, which was aground, and fired a broadside into her, without however doing any damage, except to her rigging. The schooner returned the fire, and killed six men. The last schooner has just been cut off, and is now preparing to go over. The people on board express themselves determined to take the fort before morning! Doubtful, however ; though there is a rumour in town that the Canadian people are flocking to the standard raised there in great numbers. Our place is in great excitement, and no busin ess h as been done t o -d ay . The mail closes soon, and I must close. If anything important is done I will write to your further by to-morrow's mail.—Your's, in haste, A. B. JAMES. IMPORTANT INTELLIGENCE. Times and Advertiser Extra, Ogetensburgh, Nov. 12. CANADA WAR. Early this morning it was discovered that two schooners, loaded with armed men, lay in the river, between this vil lage and Prescott. Expectation was soon rife, and excite ment pervaded the whole population. It was obvious that Fort Wellington was the point of attack, and our citizens soon thronged the shore, eager to catch every movement. A small armed steam-boat was lying at the opposite wharf, and the people of Prescott, parading up and down from the village to the Fort, gave evidence that no small degree of hubbub and excitement pervaded the population. One of the schooners containing the rebel armament had gone aground during the night, and a band of armed men seized the steam-boat United States, and pressed some of the hands into their service, for the purpose of getting her off. She, however, was not able to reach the schooner, as the water wcs not sufficient for her draft, and she Game into port for a long hawser. As she went out again the Expe riment (a British armed steam-boat) greeted her with two shots, which missed, and she passed down the river. About nine o'clock, A.M.0ne ,.. 0f the detachments of the force made a landing on the Canada shore about a mile below Fort Wellington, and whether they were attacked or not is uncertain. One opinion is that a party attacked them but retreated at the first fire. Men have been con stantly crossing to them in small boats, and up to this hour, two o'clock, r. 51., about five hundred are supposed to have joined them. The great 'scene of excitement, however, has been on the water. The Experiment kept up an irregular fire during the forenoon on the schooner and United Slates. Watching their various evolutions and observing the skip ping of the shot as they glanced along the surface of the water, formed a very exciting scene in a quiet village like this. Between eleven and twelve o'clock the Paul Pry, used as a ferrv-boat between this place and Prescott, went to to the relief of the schooner that lay on the bar, and succeeded in getting her afloat. The Experiment threw in her shot at a liberal rate, and they were so near several times that they exchanged musket and rifle shot. It is re ported that the Experiment sustained a loss of seven men —the schooner none. After the schooner got afloat, the United States came entered the passed lamsrsd through bourAs s h h e e r p w as h s e e e d l-h t o h u e se a , rm an e d d steam m - 1 buat a shot killed a very worthy young man by the name of Foster, a steersman on the boat. THREE O'CLOCK, P.M.—The rebel forces occupy a wind mill about a mile below Prescott, and it is understood that there is another body above who have taken up a bridge, and stand prepared to defend themselves. The afternoon has been quiet so far. Small boats are constantly crossing with men and arms. W e have a most favourable location for observing the movements, as our window affords a full view of Prescott and the river above and below, for two 'or three miles. Prescott is unusually quiet this afternoon. We have hardly seen a moving being in the streets or about it. Six O'CLOCK, P.M.—Arms and ammunition appear to be abundant. The schooners have placed themselves near the wharf on which the windmill stands. A body of loyalists, reported 400, are on the march from Brockville (twelve miles above this) to meet them, and if the parties have an appetite for cold fighting, we may expect important events soon. INVASION FROM OGSDENBURGH. (From the Ogdensburgh Times and Advertiser Extra.) uesday, Nov. 13. After six o' c l oc k l ast evening, things remained pretty quiet through the night. There was, however, some reports of During cannon duri ng t h e evening at long intervals. the evening the Telegraph came in, bringing some U. S. troops with Marshals, &c. They took possession of the United States. Our citizens held a meeting during the evening, to take measures for defence—but as our work had been much delayed by the confusion of the day, we could not find time to attend. Early this morning it was discovered that the armed steamboat s C o b urg and Traveller, had arr i ve d w i t h troops.

The scene was one of most intense excite merit and solicitude. The reflection, that men full of high hopes and ardent expectations were Elling by hundreds, was calculated to awaken the most painfuremotions. The Ac ti on go the brow of the hill continued some i , weutY o r thirty minutes, when one party gave way, the other followed, and the combatants passed out of view over the brow of the hill ; but the contest raged fiercely, as was evinced by the continuous roar of musketry. Another scene came in view ; a party maTchvl down by the river road and opened a warm fire upon a stone build. REVOLT IN CANADA. LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY. The Orpheus, Captain Bailey, arrived here to-day in sixteen days from New York. She brings New Y or k Papers of the 19th, and the news is of th e utmost im portance. The following are extracts from the Papers : PROCLAMATION BY HIS EXCELLENCY SIR GEORGE ARTHUR, K.C.11, LIEU TENANT-GOVERNOR OF THE PROVINCE OF UPPER CA NADA, MAJOR-GENERAL COMMANDING HER MAJESTY'S FORCES THEREIN, &C., &C., &C. Loyal Inhabitants of Upper Canada, Upon my arrival among you early in the present year, bearing with me her Majesty's commission to administer this Government, I found you just recovering from the excite ment that had naturally been produced by the then recent attempts of some infatuated and desperate individuals, both within and without the province, to involve your country in the horrors of a civil war, and to subvert those long cherished institutions which your conduct has proved that you prize as the first of blessings, and ever ready to main tain the hazard of your lives. The alacrity with which you came forward in defence of those institutions, and the valour with which—unaided by any military force—you overcame the united efforts of trea son and of lawless aggression, have, indeed, nobly won for you the approbation of your gracious Sovereign, and the admiration of your fellow-subjects in every part of the wide extended British empire. In that admiration, even when far distant from you, I participated most warmly ; and it was a source of high gratification to me to be selected us her Majesty's repre sentative among a people who have thus eminently distin guished themselves. It is not my purpose to enter here into a review of the circumstances which, before my arrival, had disturbed your peace, and compelled you to defend in arms your dearest rights. It is necessary, however, that I should briefly ad vert to subsequent occurrences, in order to show you how unceasing my desire has been, whilst extending to the cri minal authors of the past disturbances the utmost lenity that prudence would permit, to tranquillize your feelings and to provide for your security. The insurrectionary movements in this province having been completely quelled by your activity and energy, the ob ject of first importance that presented itself to my considera tion, on assuming the charge of the Government,was the treat ment to be pursued towards those who, on either their own confession or after the most impartial trials, had been convicted of the highethfence of which man, as a member of society can be guilty, and in accordance both with the humane views of her Majesty's Government, and with my own desire of tem pering justice with mercy, I suffered the extreme penalty of the law to be inflicted . only on two of the most promi nent and guilty members of the late rebellion, trusting that such an awful example might be sufficient to impress on the crime of treason its proper stamp—and that a gra duated scale of punishmeet, adapted as nearly as possible to the circumstances of the several cases, might safely be resorted to in other instances. The petitions for mercy, the assurance of contrition, the promises of amendment, and the professions cf revived feelings of loyalty which poured in upon me from or on behalf of those who had yielded to false representations, and had thus incurred the forfeiture of their lives, warrant me in concluding that the manifestation of mercy on the part of the Executive would have been attended with all the salutary effects anticipated from it, had not the same un justifiable interference by a portion of the inhabitants of a neighbouring country, in your affairs, which had so culpably contributed to the former disturbances, partially re-kindled the flame that was about to expire, and engendered a de lusive expectation that, by means of co-operation from without, a more successful effort might be made by the traitorous and disloyal to shake off their allegiance to their Sovereign. In pursuance of their nefarious designs, a fresh invasion of your soil was attempted by a few worthless refugees in conjunction with a lawless banditti, whose immediate object was the plunder and devastation of the Province, while their ulterior hope was to rend for ever that tie which binds it to the Parent State. Thus called on again to arm in defence of everything dear to you, your success in repelling this second act of aggression was not less signal than it had been in your quick suppression of the previous insurrection ; nor were your gallantry, your loyalty, and your humanity, less con spicuously displayed than they had already been on that memorable occasion. In the disposal of the prisoners taken at this period, circumstances presented themselves which rendered it my duty to persevere in the lenient course which her Majesty's advisers had before prescribed : and on an occasion calling as loudly for some example of rigour as any that has proba bly ever occurred in the annals of mankind, capital punish ment was inflicted in one solitary instance only. It might reasonably have been expected, after the re peated failure of the attempts of the confederates to effect their revolutionary objects—after the continued clemency of the Executive—and after your praiseworthy forbearance from acts of vengeance or retaliaton, that not only all thought of further hostility against you would have been abandoned in hopeless despair, but that a better tone of feeling would have succeeded. The comparative state of tranquillity, which followed the last abortive attempt at invasion, did in fact encourage m e to hope that peace with general harmony and good feeling would soon be restored to the Province. To my deep dis appointment, however, I have learnt from various source s , more or less authe n ti c , th at , regar dl ess of the friendly re lations subsisting between her Majesty's Government and that of the United States, and stimulated by the worst passions and motives, a number of American citizens, alon g our frontier, have f orme d a secret combination for anoth er invasion of these Provinces, and that preparations on an extensive scale for carrying this unprincipled enterprise into execution are at this moment in active progress. It is further stated that the members of this unholy union communicate by certain mystic signs ; that they are possessed of considerable resources; that they have amongst them some individuals of influence ; and are one and all bound by an unlawful oath to plunder you of your pro perty, to destroy your institutions, and to sever your con nection with the mother country. Thouo large allowances are to be made for exaggerated or interested statements, and though it is known that the traitorous within, and their partisans without, are mutually deceiving each other, and are falsely using the nam es o f in dividuals of station and respectability, in order to give some colouring to their wicked conspiracy ; yet I deem it proper to promulgate that such information has reached me, as calls for the adoption of precautionary measures for averting, if possible, an impending mischief, or for promptly defeating it, should it actually occur. Relying on the amity and good faith of the American Government, I have made to it, through the medium of her Majesty's Minister at Washington, such representa tions as will, I trust, ensure its immediate and decisive in terference, in suppressing these outrageous proceedings of its border citizens. I have likewise written to the officers of the United States army, commanding on the frontier, whose honour able profession and personal characters claim our confidence, urging them vigorously to second the efforts of their Go vernment, by the employment of every means that may be at their disposal. It is but reasonable, also, when the base design of un provoked aggression shall become more generally known throughout the Union, that I should look with full confi dence to the great body of its respectable citizens to rescu e their country from the lasting discredit that would be en. tailed on it by the actual commission of the hostile acts contemplated by a licentious portion of its population, and the proceedings incident to which tend so fatally to inter rupt that good understanding between the inhabitants of the two countries which their mutual interests, cemented by the endearing bond of a common origin, should lead them strictly to maintain. But, after all, it is less to the interposition of others than ourselves—supported as we are by a just cause, and protected, as we may still confidently hope to be, by a righteous Providence—that we must look for safety. With this View I have directed, in addition to the regu lar force already in the province, that several regiments of your gallant militia shall be again embodied ; and that their services shall be engaged for a continuous period of eighteen months. I have f ur th e r a uthorised the assembling, for a shorter period, of oth er cor ps of militia in various plac es ; and it is with muc h sat i s f act i on th a t I a m enabled to add , i that many of these brave men have already promptly en rolled themselves. On the Ma g i s t racy an d ot h er i n fl uent i a l c l a sses I impli citly depend for th e i mportant a id w hi c h i t i s s o much in their power and which they have always shown themselves channels thr oug h wh i ch informat i on respe cting so ready to aff o rd. I exhort them to direct t h e i r attention tothe . the designs of their enemies may be derived—to guard against delusive statements—and t o ac t w ith ca l mne ss, judgment , and decision, in the preservation of the public peace. I also call upon those who have so recently experienced the lenity of the Executive to evince their gratitude for the large measure . of mercy e x t en d e d to them, and to prove the sincerity of their professions of repentance for their former errors. Nor can I let pass this opportunity of earnestly caution ing you against the hasty adoption of opinions injurious to your confidence in the sincere intentions of the Govern ment on the all-important subject of religious instruction. While I am most anxious to socore to you and your An drei; tbis inestimable blessing, it i s not my w i s h to see a dominant Church established over you, or tho members of one religious community either rendered subject to the spiritual jurisdiction, or call e d upon to contr ib ute to thell temporal support of another. A n d I trust t h a t a By 'a gentleman who arrived from Sackett's Harbour this morning, we have received an extra from the office of the Sackett's Harbour Journal, furnishing the important in telligence given below. Bef ore h e left the harbour, the steamer United States had arrived and confirmed the state- _ ___ ._......... ment. (From the Sackett's Harbour Journal Extra, Nov. 15.) The steam-boat Oneida, just arrived from Ogdensburgh, brings the following news : A severe engagement took place at Prescott yesterday, commencing at eight A.m., and lasted seven hours, between the Patriots and British forces. About 500 Patriots and 300 British regulars, together with some militia, were en gaged. The battle took place about a mile below Prescott. The Patriots have possession of several stone buildings. Several were killed and wounded on both sides. The Bri tish, however, sustained by far the heaviest loss. Colonel Young, the British commander, was among the killed, his body being pierced with seven balls. The British were twice repulsed by the Patriots, and finally left the field to wait for reinforcements, for which an express was sent to Kingston. 1 During the action the British put their dead and wounded into a barn, behind which they sheltered them selves, and the Patriots, to dislodge them, set it on fire, when it was consumed, together with its contents ; imme dietely after which the British retreated to Prescott for the last time. The steam-boat United States and two schooners were seized yesterday by the United States Marshal, under the neutrality law, and are now on their way to this port under his charge. Mr. Foster, the steersman of the steam-boat United States, was killed by a grape-shot from the British steam-boat Experiment, yesterday. while engaged in get ting a schooner off the flats in Ogdensburgh harbour. After firing into the United States, the Experiment at tempted to run down the schooner Charlotte, but was fired into by the Patriots on board of her, killing six and wound ing five, after which the Experiment retreated to Prescott. A small boat, containing four or five Patriots, crossing from Ogdensburgh to Prescott, was fired into by the British steam-boat Coburg and disabled, and then she ran alongside and fired down upon them, sinking the boat and killing every person that was on board. The steam-boat Oneida has been chartered by Colonel Worth, for the United States service, and is to return im mediately to the river St. Lawrence with troops from this place. (From the Montreal Herald of the 15th of November.) Information was received late on Tuesday evening that 800 men, with eight pieces of artillery, had approached Prescott, from the opposite shore, on the morning of Mon day, about ten o'clock, and failed in an attempt to run two large schooners alongside the wharf. With the assistance of the steamers United States and Paul Pry, about 500 men of the Sympathisers, with three guns, disembarked about two miles below the town, where they were stationed when the accounts left. The Experiment, a Government armed steamer of small size, arrived at 5 o'clock on Monday afternoon, and exchanged several shots with the steamer United States, one of which struck her, and caused so much damage, that she was compelled to retire to Ogdensburgh to get the necessary repairs. The 93d Regiment would be at Corn wall yesterday morning, another regiment was ordered on the march, and two companies of the Royals left town yes terday morning under the command of Colonel Wetherall for that place, and volunteers are flocking in front all quar ters. The gallant Glengarry Highlanders will cut off the retreat of the brigands by the Rideau Canal,- the armed steamer Experiment will effectually prevent their escape by boats, and the troops and volunteers will attack them on both flanks, so that they are completely hemmed in. (From the Montreal Herald of the 13th inst.) On Sunday evening the whole of the back country above Laprairie presented the awful spectacle of one vast sheet of lurid flame, and it is reported that not a single rebel house has been left standing. God only knows what is to become of the surviving Canadians and their wives and families dur ing the approaching winter, as nothing but starvation from hunger and cold stares them in the face. It is melancholy to reflect on such awful consequences of rebellion, and the irretrievable ruin of so many human beings, whether inno cent or guilty. Still the supremacy of the laws must be maintained inviolate, the integrity of the empire must be asserted, peace and prosperity must be secured to British subjects, even at the expense of the entire Nation Canadienne. The history of the past proves that nothing but sweep inn them from the earth and laying their habitations level with the dust will prevent renewed rebellions south of the St. Lawrence, or renewed invasions from the Americans. From the habitans north of this city we have nothing to dread, as they can neither assist an invading foe, nor fall back upon neutral territory. The Canadians in the re bellious districts, whose houses have been given to the flames, and who have escaped the bullet, the bayonet, or the prison, are doomed to perish in the woods, for in the United States they can expect no assistance, and in the quiet districts, however much their fellow-countryme n may desire to assist them, fear of being considered implicated in the insurrection will have more influence than sympathy. The punishment already inflicted has been very severe, but it is not enough. The hanging of twenty leaders will have more effect than the killing of two hundred men in action, and if any are to be spared from the gallows, they ought to be sentenced to hard labour and chained together macadamizing the roads on the island of Montreal. (From the Courier of the 14th.) Yesterday morning (Wednesday) it was currently ru moured that a lar g e Patriot force had assembled on Boucherville mountain. It may be so ; we hope they will remain there till inspected by the competent authorities. A little before noon, the Princess Victoria breught over from Laprairie ninety-one prisoners, who were taken at Napierville, &c. With the exception of a few, who ap peared to be Sympathisers, they were a miserable-lookin g set. Captain Morin, formerly master of the Eagle steam boat, and his son, were among the number. This man, we understand, is nearly related to Cote. About two o'clock, some twenty prisoners were marched into town from Lachine, escorted by a party of the Lachine Cavalry. They were taken in arms at Chateauguay, and were secured with lopes as usual ; but as there were some distinguished characters among them, the respective ranks they held in the Patriot army were conspicuously exhibited by placards on their backs. Dr. Newsome, his son, and several whose appearance denoted them to be Sympathisers, were among this lot. Both the Doctor and his son are high in rank in the Patriot army. About four o'clock his Excellency Sir John Colborne and Staff landed from the Princess Victoria. lie was en thusiastically cheered by the crowds assembled on the wharfs. One prisoner was brought over at the same time, an old Wilma, said to be the murderer of the late Mr. Walker. Several American muskets and bayonets were in possession of the soldiers attached to Sir John Colborne's Staff, They are nearly new, a little longer than the Tower muskets, their stoc k s muc h stronger, and bl olishe. We have no t l earne d the particulars of arre p the number of houses burned, but the current estimate on this subject, we are assured by good authority, is much over the mark, for Sir John is anxious that the property should be preserved and confiscated afterw ar d s , rat h er than destroyed. This a would be a ve r y d es i ra bl e arrangement, and w ou ld stop more burnings if the Loyalists were convinced that Go vernment would confiscate on a sufficiently extensive scale. Among the prisoners who were taken was a French officer who held the rcaik of General in the rebel army, and who not being such a proficient in the running away tac tics; of his fellow-warriors as they were, hi s penchant for fighting led t o hi s capture. On lear n i ng hi s ran k, Colonel Taylor told hi m that he must not e x p ec t, on of it, any better treatment than th o cana ille with whom he had leagued himself, an d a ccount who cou ld n ot be regarded as honourableenewiles. The Frenchman had sufficient , sense to acquiesce in the justice of this a rrangement, and cursed the system of gross deception that had been practised upon him, to entice him into the service, H . e was made t o boliove4lac said, that the entire population mg, in which the rebel forces were quartered. This battle continued with spirit for some time, when the Loyalists re treated, and the combatants over the hill became fainter and fewer, till about nine o'clock, when all seemed hushed for the moment. The rebel forces were left in possession of the ground, but they seemed to be in no condition to follow the retreating party. From nine o'clock till three there was not much of ex citement in the scene. An irregular fire was kept up on the Windmill, and a body of regulars sent an occasional volley at a stone house, in which a body of the assaulting party were sheltered. At three o'clock p.m. a barn a short distance from the Windmill was consumed by fire. This was probably done by the rebels, as the barn afforded a shelter to the Loyalists. Two o'CnocK, P.m.—We have reports from the field of battle this evening. It is stated that six hundred regular troops were engaged, besides the Volunteer Militia. Major Young, the officer in command at Prescott, a brave and excellent officer in the British army, is supposed to have fallen. The report is that the commanding officer fell early in the morning, and that several efforts have been made by the Loyalists to recover his body without success. The rebel forces were in three detachments—one occu pying the Windmill, another a stone building, and the third was posted on the brow of the hill, and sustained most of the morning's work. It is reported that the field is covered with dead and wounded soldiers of the Government, while, so far as was known, but thirteen of the rebels had fallen. The schooners which brought the invading forces down were taken this morning by the officers of the United States for breach of neutrality, though we understand that one of them was a British vessel. So far " the patriot" force has sustained themselves against fearful odds, and with signal success •Vhat the result will be it is impossible to predict. (From the Oswego Palladium Extra, Nov. 15.) 04 646- 7.7 was ripe for revolt, and that the money and mean in abundance to brinf , rebellion to a successful s?sti9 whereas, he had already found that there was neither one' nor other of the latter, and more, that, so far from there being only regular troops to contend with, that a handful of volunteers by themselves had entirely broken and scat tered the rebel forces. The only mark of distinction over his fellow prisoners he begged of Colonel Taylor was an opportunity of writing to some of his friends in New York, who were coming on to join him, to dissuade them from embarking in so hopeless an enterprise. The name of the French officer alluded to is said to be St. Martine. (From the llfimtieal Herald, Nov. 15.) The French officer St. Martine, whom we noticed as one of the prisoners taken at Odeltown, has been brought to town, and offers, if he gets his liberty, to deliver Dr. Robert Nelson, dead or alive, to the authorities. We very much doubt if this offer will be accepted. He states that he has been the victim of deceit and treachery—that he was assured of having under his command an army of 30,000 men, well equipped and brave, instead of which he found only three or four thousand miserable wretches, armed to be sure, but the rankest cowards he ever had any connection with. He deserves the death of a brigand, and we trust he will meet it. The rebels were duped by expectations of something great being effected from the presence of a French General, and he ex pected mavellous feats to be performed by men who pre tended they were fighting for liberty and life. They de ceived each other ; the only tie which bound them together. was hatred of the British name and British Government ; and as their objects in life were similar, let them not be divided in death. The gallows is good enough for them, and if sufficiently used, will prevent " sympathy" from foreigners, as well as treason from subjects, for the future. On Tuesday a body of about sixty rebels, under one Malhiot, from the district of Quebec, took up a position on the mountain behind Boucherville, at the mills belong ing to Theophile Bruneau, advocate, of this city, who landed at Champlain from the States on Sunday last, in company with tlic.t notorious scamp, Van Rensselaer. In Tuesday's Herald, we inadvertently stated that it was Dr. Bruneau who had done so, but we were in error, as the Doctor has not been out of the city since the beginning of the rebellion. His namesake, the Advocate, has boen taken prisoner by some of the Beauharnois volunteers, and is confined in the block-house on the Chateauguay River. Yesterday morn ing the rebels on the Boucherville mountain, learning from one of their scouts that a company of the 66th Regiment was marching in the neighbourhood, precipitately took to flight, on Malhiot calling out "Mes braves, sauve qui petit." They left behind them three pieces of artillery, and about 300 stand of arms. Yesterday about twenty prisoners arrived in town from Napierville, among whom are Benjamin Lukin, a notary, brother to the late Mr. P. Lukin, of this city, and a young man named Leveque, a clerk in the Sheriff's office, and son of the late Prothonotary of this city. About a week ago, he, along with another rebel, was about purchasing a pair of pistols from Mr. Hall, the gunsmith, but on a friend of ours, who happened to be present, informing Mr. Hall who his customers were, be refused to sell them on any terms. The honourable reference of Sir George Arthur to, th e .justi officers of the United States army on the frontier, is, fled by their character, and we have no doubt will b e doubly justified by their conduct in the Present 'exigencies. We do not inte.id in anywise to reflect upor. them by the comments which we have made upon our frontier relations. In the vigour, energy, and judgment of Colonel Worth, of confidence ; in particular, we repose the most ur, and we are well assured that if t!aey were properly sus tained by the co•operation of the civil authorities that there could be no ground for any apprehension of a violated neutrality. (From the Vergennes Vermonter.) THE CANADIAN INSURGENTS —WHO SUP. PLIED THEM WITH ARMS? In succeeding columns will be found all the intelligence we have been able to glean from the Journals respecting the late insurrectionary movements in the Canadas. It will be seen that the rising was general and simultaneous, and that almost every step taken by the insurgents has been marked by atrocities unjustifiable even if their every complaint is well grounded and their cause never so righteous. The insurgents were supplied with arms from the United States arsenal in this city. Those who have marked the, apparent anxiety of the President to preserve inviolate our neutral obligations, will be surprised at this assertion—but it is true. It is doubtless remembered by most of our readers that on the failure of the expedition to Caldwell's Manor, by Dr. Robert Nelson, the arms, &c., in his possessh were given up to General Wool, and by him sent to the Champlain Arsenal. These arms and munitions thus became, beyond all peradventure, the property of the United States. During the summer, while the arse , nal was under the charge of Lieutenant J. B. Scott, a very intelligent and active officer, suits were commenced by individuals pretending to have given arms to the Patriots before the last invasion of Canada from Vermont for their recovery. The original bestowment of these arms having been a direct and palpable violation of law, it might have been supposed that no one would have had effrontery enough to claim their restitution. But they were demanded, and as Lieutenant Scott would not surrender them without a thorough legal investigation of the matter, he was or dered to a post in Arkansas, and a creature named Bogart appointed to this station in his place. We have been told that no person not holding a com mission in the United States army could be lawfully placed in command of the Arsenal ; and that, consequently, the appointment of Bogart was illegal. However this may be, he is unfit for the station, and wholly incompetent to the discharge of its duties. With the mental and bodily infir mities of second childhood upon him, he is supported by the public--" a Government pauper"—for his former servile devotion to the party. We give the creature's character, because it is possible that the arms above-mentioned were surrendered to the Canadians in consequence of his igno rance of his duties, and not because the Government wished, just before important elections, to convince the re fugees in the fourth Congressional district of Vermont, and in the northern part of New York, that it was favourable to the Patriots, and should be supported by their friends. About four weeks ago, a fellow named Alexander Catlin, of Burlington, known to have been a tool of the Canadian leaders last winter, came to the Arsenal, and delivered an order, purporting to be from " the owners," for the property placed there last spring by General Wool. If it be asked how the original " owners" of the property, scattered as they are from the Superior to the Passamaquoddy, could have all and severally given an " order" for its return at one time, we cannot answer, and probably Mr. Bogart could not ; but he delivered up all the arms and other property in his possession, amounting to twelve or fourteen heavy loads, , to. Catlin, under whose direction it was taken to Burlington, placed in a storehouse by the Lake, and locked up. The next morning the storehouse was empty, and in a day or two after the arms were in the hands of the " Patriots on the frontier. It must be apparent to everyone that these arms be longed to the United States, to whom they were assigned by Nelson and his associates, not for safe keeping till the " Patriots" shall recommence hostilities, but as spoils to victors. The original proprietors forfeited all right to them when they gave them to the Canadians. if Bogart sur rendered them in obedience to orders from Washington, then the Government hypocritically pretends to maintain a neutrality, while it is secretly giving every possible as sistance to the insurgents. If he, from ignorance, or with an intention to aid them, gave up the arms, the Executive is responsible for his acts. The Champlain arsenal, being on navigable waters, which extend into Canada, and more exposed to attack than any other belonging to the United States, should in a time like this be guarded, and under the command of some one better qualified to superintend it than the dotard who now stays at it. If the Government nnst support its army of paupers, let it build a poorhouse in the dis trict of Columbia, and in it put those who are incapable. of performing the duties of the various offices which it fills with its retainers. We do not want them in Vermont. 4~ ~?' APTURE OF THE STEAM-BOAT HEZ;RY BROUGHAM. The Montreal Gazette, of November 13, has the follow inr, particulars respecting the capture of the steam-boat ileizry Brougham, the fact of which we announced on Monday : " The Remy Brougham arrived at Beauharnois from the Cascades, at about nine o'clock on Saturday night s when, in consequence of the darkness of the night, sh e was to remain until morning. Shortly after the pas sengers, whose names we have already given, kiad re tired to bed, a great noise was heard on deck, and instantly the cabin was filled with armed men, who cried out that the passengers were all prisoners and must go ashore. A cry was then set up by the rebels for the mail—the mail—we must have the mail.' Cap- Whipple, of the steam-boat, with a p resence of mind which n does him the highest credit, and who, throughout the whole affair, conducted himself in such a manner as to have excited the gratitude and admiration of his passengers, in stantly answered that the rebels were great fools to suppose that the mail was carried on Sunday, upon which they made no further inquiries regarding it. It is well they did not ; for it ce,litained very large sums of money. Tho gentleman fioni whom we have received our information had also, a large sum of money under his care, which he wag carrying from Kingston to the Montreal Bank, as well, as to one or two mercantile houses in town ; and which, he had no other means of saving than dexterously convert.- ing it into a lady's bustle. " When the passengers were brought on shore, they were conveyed, throne. it strong file of rebels, to the house
